【公務員薪酬調整 2019 - 2020】二○一九至二○年度公務員薪酬調整方案 (高中底層/總薪級表/遞增薪額/薪酬趨勢淨指標/考慮因素/Offers of 2019-2020 civil service pay adjustment) ...... !

​公務員事務局今日（六月十一日）向四個公務員中央評議會的職方提出下列薪酬調整方案，生效日期追溯至二○一九年四月一日：

（一）高層薪金級別及首長級的公務員，加薪幅度為4.75%，但個別薪點的金額須予訂明，有關薪點及金額見下列第（i）及第（ii）項：

（i）總薪級表第34點為74,515元；總薪級表第35點為75,265元；及

（ii）一般紀律人員（主任級）薪級表第20點和警務人員薪級表第36點為74,390元；一般紀律人員（主任級）薪級表第21點和警務人員薪級表第37點為75,135元；及

（二）中層及低層薪金級別的公務員，加薪幅度為5.26%。

公務員事務局發言人說：「考慮到遞增薪額開支過去十年一直上升及對薪酬趨勢淨指標的影響（註），行政長官會同行政會議同時決定，由二○一九至二○年度公務員薪酬調整開始，以下兩者中的較低者，會被用作計算各個薪金級別的薪酬趨勢淨指標：各個薪金級別由一九八九至九○年度（即開始推行有關扣減安排的年份）至二○一九至二○年度的平均遞增薪額開支，或該薪金級別在有關年度的實際遞增薪額開支。」

按有關決定，由於一九八九至九○年度至二○一九至二○年度的高層、中層和低層薪金級別的平均遞增薪額開支（分別為1.04%、1.03%和1.16%）均低於各薪金級別的實際遞增薪額開支(分別為1.21%、1.21%和2.19%)，因此，上述的平均遞增薪額開支會被用作計算二○一九至二○年度薪酬趨勢淨指標，即分別為高層4.75%、中層5.26%和低層4.16%。

發言人說：「行政長官會同行政會議根據既定機制考慮薪酬調整方案。按照一貫做法，由於二○一九至二○年度低層薪金級別的薪酬趨勢淨指標低於中層薪金級別，行政長官會同行政會議決定低層薪金級別公務員的薪酬調整會被『調高』至與中層薪金級別的薪酬趨勢淨指標相同的水平；而首長級公務員的薪酬調整方案則跟隨高層薪金級別公務員的安排。」

上述決定是由行政長官會同行政會議經考慮既定年度公務員薪酬調整機制下的所有相關因素後所作出，當中包括：

＊ 薪酬趨勢淨指標；
＊ 香港經濟狀況；
＊ 生活費用的變動；
＊ 政府的財政狀況；
＊ 職方對薪酬調整的要求；及
＊ 公務員士氣。

發言人補充：「待行政長官會同行政會議考慮職方的回應，並就二○一九至二○年度公務員薪酬調整作出決定後，政府會盡快提交建議予立法會財務委員會考慮。」

註：根據既定機制，將薪酬趨勢調查所得的各薪金級別的薪酬趨勢總指標，減去相關級別的公務員遞增薪額開支，便會得出薪酬趨勢淨指標。

The Civil Service Bureau (CSB) made the following pay offers, effective retrospectively from April 1, 2019 to the staff side of the four civil service central consultative councils today (June 11):

(a) a pay increase of 4.75 per cent for civil servants in the upper salary band and the directorate, subject to the pay points referred to in (i) and (ii) below the dollar values of which should be as specified:

(i) Master Pay Scale (MPS) 34 at $74,515 and MPS 35 at $75,265; and

(ii) General Disciplined Services (Officer) Pay Scale (GDS(O)) 20 and Police Pay Scale (PPS) 36 at $74,390, and GDS(O) 21 and PPS 37 at $75,135; and

(b) a pay increase of 5.26 per cent for civil servants in the lower and middle salary bands.

"Having regard to the increasing payroll cost of increments (PCIs) over the past ten years and its impact on the net pay trend indicators (PTIs)(Note), the Chief Executive-in-Council (CE-in-Council) also decided that from the 2019-20 civil service pay adjustment onwards, the respective average PCIs for each salary band from 1989-90 (i.e. the year when the relevant deduction arrangement was first implemented) to 2019-20, or the actual PCIs for the particular salary band for the year, whichever is the lower, will be adopted for deriving the net PTI for that salary band," a spokesman for the CSB said.

According to the relevant decision, as the average PCIs from 1989-90 to 2019-20 for the upper, middle and lower salary bands (at 1.04 per cent, 1.03 per cent and 1.16 per cent respectively) are all lower than the actual PCIs for the respective salary bands (i.e. 1.21 per cent, 1.21 per cent and 2.19 per cent), the aforementioned average PCIs will be adopted for calculating the net PTIs for 2019-20, which will be 4.75 per cent, 5.26 per cent and 4.16 per cent for the upper, middle and lower salary bands respectively.

"The CE-in-Council has considered the pay offers in accordance with the established mechanism. According to the usual practice, since the 2019-20 net PTI for the lower salary band is lower than that for the middle salary band, the CE-in-Council decided that the pay adjustment for civil servants in the lower salary band should be 'brought-up' to the same level of the net PTI for the middle salary band. The pay offer for directorate civil servants follows the arrangement for civil servants in the upper salary band," the spokesman said.

The above decisions were made by the CE-in-Council after considering all relevant factors under the established annual civil service pay adjustment mechanism, including:

* the net PTIs;
* the state of Hong Kong's economy;
* changes in the cost of living;
* the Government's fiscal position;
* the pay claims of the staff side; and
* civil service morale.
 
"After the CE-in-Council considers the response from the staff side and makes a decision on the 2019-20 civil service pay adjustment, the Government will submit the pay adjustment proposal to the Legislative Council Finance Committee for consideration as soon as possible," the spokesman added.

Note: In line with the established mechanism, the respective civil service PCIs are deducted from the gross PTI of each salary band from the Pay Trend Survey to derive the net PTI.
